Jan Blachowicz thinks a draw is a fair verdict as opposed to Joe Rogan
During the post-match octagon interview, Jan Blachowicz answered Joe Rogan that he needed to watch the fight to give his opinion. However, he did say that he did not win the fight, nor did he think he lost.
Jan Blachowicz said in a tweet, “Let me reiterate something. First – I honestly don’t think the fight was terrible at all. Second – I don’t feel I’ve won but neither that I lost. A draw was fair.”
End result – One dude cried and talked about his supposed injuries, another dude showed that honor can be and still is upheld in this game. I'm glad the fans see it and appreciate it for what it is.

Blachowicz added in another tweet, “End result – One dude cried and talked about his supposed injuries, another dude showed that honor can be and still is upheld in this game. I’m glad the fans see it and appreciate it for what it is.”
Joe Rogan may not completely agree with ‘The Polish Powerhouse’s statement. According to Rogan, Magomed Ankalaev should be the sole fighter to have his hand raised at the end of the fight.
What’s next for Jan Blachowicz?
Ideally, ‘The Polish Powerhouse’ will be looking to get a shot at the title next. However, he has been pushed back in line for a title shot as Dana has recently announced that he will be having Texeira and Hill face each other for the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 283 in Brazil.
Blachowicz has only a couple of title shots left in him as he nears the age of 40. Subsequently, he shall aim for whatever he has left in the tank and go all guns blazing to make his case for the title match.
